I made an autorun to launch the installers for the Wing Commander games and thought I'd share it incase anyone else would like it, incase like me you'd like to have a Wing Commander DVD image (iso file) with a useful autorun.
Basically it's just an autorun with pictures for each installer and clicking an image will launch the appropriate installer before closing.
Here's a picture of it to give you an idea.

I've updated it so you can configure what files to launch when 1 of the 8 pictures is clicked, this means that if GOG releases an updated version with a different file name you can just correct the Autorun.cfg file to get it working again (since the newer GOG installer doesn't handle changing the installers names if it has multiple files).
You just have to make sure the 8 text lines in the autorun.cfg file point to the installers in the order of the 8 pictures on the launcher's window. For example if the first line in the autorun.cfg points to the Privateer isntaller then clicking the first image (the image of Wing Commander 1+2) will launch the Privateer installer instead of the Wing Commander 1+2 installer.
If you get an error when clicking an image it means the folder\file path in the Autorun.cfg doesn't point to an existing file.
Here's a link for the launcher and an Autorun.cfg file which you can just edit in notepad.
